Lydian Campaign (335 BC)

The Lydian Campaign was an invasion of the Persian Province of Lydia by Alexander the Great, which resulted in its capture.

Campaign
The Greek Army, who had now incorporated Hypaspists into their army, invaded the Province of Lydia, governed by Orontobates, who was a skilled leader. However, the Hypaspists chopped down the Medean conscripts and the archers, while the Scout Cavalry's lances cut down the rival tribal cavalry, taking over the region.
